Option 1: If the rest of the key team (Owner and PM) stay onboard, then you can negotiate for sweat equity.
Option 2: If nobody wants to continue working on the project, then the conversation changes to, what does it take for you to own the existing code base.
Whatever the case, working for free without any compensation (whether monetary or share of the business) ends in hurt feelings all around.
I don't want to own the code base, I feel it's a matter of loyalty, responsibility and maybe optimism of my part that leads me to this idea of keep working.
However, what I fear the most is to have the opportunity of keep working on the project and fail.
I understand the compensation problem, it can hurt both parts and I don't want that
